Chapter 197 Conflict
On the day Wu Yanrui entered the mansion, Ye Wenbo arranged everything in a grand manner.
Because she was entering the mansion as a concubine, Wu Yanrui wore a carefully selected bright red dress and gorgeous pearls and jade on her head. She got off the sedan chair and walked into the Ye Mansion gracefully.
Ye Wenbo looked at her, his eyes full of joy and doting.
Ever since Murong Jin got into trouble, his situation in the capital has become increasingly difficult.
No matter what his previous thoughts were, he agreed to bring Wu Yanrui into the house, but at this moment, looking at his beautiful concubine, his heart was still filled with joy.
The officials he had made friends with before all avoided him. Thinking about how Liu Yunniang not only rejected the matchmaker's mediation but also wanted someone to arrange a marriage for her, Ye Wenbo seemed to become quite depressed.
However, the appearance of Wu Yanrui was like a clear spring, which just soothed the grievances in his heart.
Her beauty, gentleness and intelligence made Ye Wenbo feel extremely satisfied.
After Wu Yanrui entered the mansion, she behaved very docilely and well-behaved at first, and would go to pay her respects to Old Madam Ye on time every morning.
From time to time, he would use his own private money to ask someone to buy Madam Ye's favorite snacks, but he never got a good response from the buyer.
Old Madam Ye was unhappy and deliberately made things difficult for her. Every time she came to pay her respects, Wu Yanrui had to serve her personally in every detail, such as serving meals, massaging her back, and even doing trivial things like trimming her nails.
But Wu Yanrui had no complaints and endured it all silently.
She secretly instructed her most trusted maid, Xiao Cui, to keep a close eye on Wu Yanrui's every move.
Wu Yanrui naturally noticed what Old Madam Ye was thinking, but she did not make it public and continued to do her best to play the role of a filial daughter-in-law.
Although Ye Wenbo felt distressed, he also knew his mother's temper, so he could only comfort Wu Yanrui on the bed.
"Yanrui, I'm sorry for putting you through this. Mother is old and has a stubborn temper. Please bear with her."
Wu Yanrui leaned in Ye Wenbo's arms, tears in her eyes, but she said softly,
"Master, I know that the old lady is an elder, and it is our duty to be filial to the elders. I will not care about these things."
Ye Wenbo was moved and hugged her tightly.
"Yanrui, you are so sensible, it's my blessing."
He sighed in his heart, never mind, maybe it was just bad luck, I will just have to live like this for the rest of my life!
But within a few days, because of Wu Yanrui's compromise, Ye Wenbo's whole heart was towards Wu Yanrui.
The servants in the mansion could clearly feel Mr. Ye's favor towards the new concubine, and they all began to curry favor with Wu Yanrui.
Wu Yanrui looked at the little gadgets that Ye Wenbo had people send her from time to time, but she didn't feel much joy in her heart.
In the Ye Mansion, only by truly grasping power can she escape the fate of being dependent on others and have the opportunity to take revenge on those who have hurt her.
Humph, Ye Wenbo wouldn't really think that she is a woman who has never seen the world. These are just some worthless calligraphy and paintings and jewelry of extremely poor quality. He wouldn't think that he is really happy!
As for Old Madam Ye, as she watched Ye Wenbo become more and more fond of Wu Yanrui, the dissatisfaction in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
She found Ye Wenbo and said gloomily,
"Wenbo, don't be fooled by that woman's appearance. I don't think she is a good person. If you keep pampering her like this, it will bring disaster to the Ye family sooner or later."
Ye Wenbo disagreed.
"Mom, you worry too much. Yanrui is a kind-hearted woman. She has always been filial to you. Don't always be prejudiced against her."
Madam Ye was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"What do you know! She is just pretending. You are so bewitched by her that you can't see her true face at all."
Ye Wenbo said helplessly,
"Mom, don't worry. I know that Yanrui will not do anything that is detrimental to the Ye family." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Old Madam Ye sulking alone in the room.
After Wu Yanrui learned about the conversation between Old Madam Ye and Ye Wenbo, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
She knew that the conflict between herself and Old Madam Ye was becoming increasingly serious, and a fight was inevitable.
On the tenth day of October, Liu Yunniang received a letter from Xiao Mu.
In his letter, he said that he had a safe journey and was about to reach Liangcheng.
Liu Yunniang estimated the time it would take for the letter to be delivered. When she received the letter, Xiao Mu and his men should have already quietly entered the city.
Liu Yunniang stood in front of the window, holding a letter in her hand, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Liu Yunniang knew very well that this trip to Liangcheng was full of dangers, so how could she not be worried?
Ye Xiaoxiao entered the room with her chubby baby in her arms. Seeing Liu Yunniang's thoughtful look, she asked curiously,
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Is there something on your mind?"
Liu Yunniang came back to her senses and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a smile, but there was still worry in her voice.
"Nothing, General Xiao sent a letter, and they have now arrived in Liangcheng safely."
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and blinked her eyes, knowing that her mother was suffering from lovesickness at the moment!
Ye Xiaoxiao has been very bored these days. Chunxi is busy with Su Jinge's business every day, so she takes Tuantuan to wander around in the space every day.
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to try my new product? Come on, just accompany me to the space to give you a full body SPA."
As Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, she pushed her mother towards the inner room.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, mother will be there soon."
Liu Yunniang put down the letter in her hand and prayed silently for Xiao Mu in her heart, hoping that everything would go well for him in Liangcheng and that he would return safely soon.
Yunniang followed Ye Xiaoxiao into the space. Because they were back in a familiar environment, Tuantuan had already broken free from Ye Xiaoxiao's arms and was running back and forth, uttering a few babbling sounds from time to time.
Ye Xiaoxiao pulled Liu Yunniang into Linlang Pavilion, and she swiftly began to prepare supplies for Liu Yunniang's full body SPA.
As she prepared, she comforted him.
"Mother, don't worry too much about General Xiao. He is a skilled martial artist and will be safe."
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly.
"Xiaoxiao, mother knows, but the situation in Liangcheng is complicated, so I can't help but feel worried."
Ye Xiaoxiao put the prepared facial mask aside and pulled Liu Yunniang to sit on the comfortable recliner.
"Mother, please relax for a moment. This mask is a new one I developed. It not only soothes your body and mind, but also has an immediate beauty effect. If you think it's good, I'll have Chunxi put it on the shelves in Sujinge tomorrow. I guarantee that once it appears, it will be a big hit."
As Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, she gently applied the so-called facial mask on Liu Yunniang's face with a delicate and gentle technique.
Liu Yunniang felt her daughter's thoughtfulness and her worries were slightly relieved.
"Xiaoxiao, you are becoming more and more capable. I think you are addicted to making money. Look at other girls who are like you, studying ways to make money every day."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled proudly.
"Of course, mother. I have many people to support in the future. How can I not earn more?"
